New Philosophy Fellows of American Academy of Arts & Sciences Announced

The AAAS press release and complete listing is here.  The new Fellows are Geoffrey P. Hellman (Minnesota), Terence Parsons (UCLA), Robert Pippin (Chicago), Stephen Schiffer (NYU), Wilfried Sieg (Carnegie-Mellon), Michael Williams (Johns Hopkins), and Mark Wilson (Pittsburgh).  Three Foreign Honorary Members in Philosophy were also elected:  Jacques Brunschwig (Paris 1 [Sorbonne]), Ernst Tugendhat (Tubingen), and Timothy Williamson (Oxford).

This is a curious list because no one in religious studies was elected in this category this year (the category is officially "Philosophy and Religious Studies"):  I can’t recall a year in which ten philosophers were elected in a single year!
